Fried Food Capital: 10 Things We Can’t Wait to Eat at the State Fair of Texas

Share this:

The most wonderful time of the year is slowly approaching for many North Texans: it’s officially the State Fair of Texas season. The State Fair of Texas allows many of us to dine on some our favorite foods each year that bring back so many amazing memories.

What makes the State Fair of Texas so great is they’re considered to be the fried food capital. This means you can get pretty much any and everything fried at the State Fair. Many of these fried foods may seem absurd to some, but once you try them, you may (or may not) be begging for more.
Here are a few of the wackiest fried foods available at the State Fair of Texas to get yourself prepared for the State Fair festivities.

Texas Fried Frito Pie

Frito Pies are already a staple meal for any true Texan. After all, Fritos were created here in the Lone Star State. The State Fair of Texas decided to put an extra crispy twist on the Frito Pie by frying it.

The Texas Fried Frito Pie is a blend of cheese, chili, and Fritos that’s been dipped in batter and fried. It’s served with sour cream and salsa.

Deep-Fried Bacon Burger Dog Slider

The Deep-fried Bacon Burger Dog Slider is another new addition to the State Fair menu. It’s made specifically for the meat lovers out there.

What exactly is a Deep-Fried Bacon Burger Dog Slider?

Well, it features a mini ground beef patty stuffed with bacon, cheddar cheese, and a beef hot dog on a Hawaiian roll. It’s then placed on a skewer alongside a pickle, then dipped in a tempura batter and deep-fried. The Deep-Fried Bacon Burger Dog Slider comes with shoe string french fries and ranch dipping sauce.

Ah, yes. The good ole turkey leg. Turkey Legs are an essential food item to get while at the State Fair. Now, we’re all used to the Turkey legs being smoked, but did you know you can also get them fried?

Only at the State Fair of Texas will you find an oversized fried turkey leg.

Cookie Fries will also be introduced at the State Fair this year. They strikingly resemble crinkle cut fries, but they’re actually cookies. The cookie fries will come in both chocolate chip or sprinkles and served with your choice of milk chocolate or strawberry dipping sauce.
